#I shouldn't complain

A majority of XO Kitty watchers don't ship Kitty and Yuri as much as the others even though Yuri is the only one Kitty canonically has feelings for because allyship progress only really extends to gay men still and sapphics aren't taken seriously.

I wouldn't have raised any eyebrows if it was a ship war, honest. But it's not. There's hardly anyone out here and the show ended on an attempted love confession from the main character.

At least some ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THAT WARRANTS "viable option"???? PLEASE????

The season was building to her realizing her bisexuality, the culmination of which was leaving her boyfriend for her and confessing to her but then her girlfriend on got in the way - this is TEXTBOOK. I'm not even saying it's textbook end game. I'm saying it's textbook ATTACHMENT. It's textbook SHIPPERS. People EAT THAT SHIT UP.

They did every single one of your favorite tropes on the MARK, they just did it with two women.

Can I rant for a second? Just a little rant?

I'm staying with my in-laws for the weekend. My kiddos got to trick-or-treat with their granddad which was nice for them (they usually go with their other grandpa, 'Papa'). Today and tomorrow I'm hunting with my FIL while MIL watches the kids which is also super nice.

BUT! my FIL is toxically generous. I'm not sure that's actually a thing but it kind of feels like it should be a thing. What I mean is he'll snag some sort of deal (clearance, garage sale) and then he'll say, "I got this. Want it?"

"No thanks, I don't need it," I'll say (or my husband, or my dad, or whomever he's talking to).

"What, you're not even going to try it on?" (the thing today was a toque).

"No I don't need it. I've got a hat. I'll be good."

"Come on, try it on."

"No, really."

"You'll look so good in it!"

"Seriously, I'm good."

"Well, it's there if you need it."

"👍"

Oi, it's exhausting!

And, oi. My MIL cannot cook. I mean, she can. Everyone can cook. And it's edible. But it's... not good. She browns her hamburger in the microwave which means little to no seasoning. And it's game meat so it needs seasoning. And it ends up with big chunks. And she doesn't even add seasoning to her sauce either. Maybe some salt. (When I first got him, I had to teach my husband that food was supposed to have flavour. He's quite the cook now.) I'm glad I came back to the house and there was food ready but... I guess I'm spoiled.

But the other thing is food safety. I'm fanatical about food safety (took foods in school and worked in restaurants through my teens and 20s). I never know how long food has been sitting out before I get to eat it. Has it been sitting in the stove (element off) for an hour? Longer? How long were these leftovers sitting out before you got around to putting them in the fridge? How old are these leftovers you're offering me? I put the food away tonight after I had a bowl because if I didn't, it would still be on the stove until she put it away before she went to bed. And it's not a big deal for me to put the food away-- I know where the Tupperware is-- but if I didn't then, like I said, it would still be out and she would still expect me to eat it tomorrow.

And then there's just all the stuff at their house. You can barely walk through the basement it's so full. And the upstairs is cluttered, but liveable. So every time we visit I get overwhelmed because one day I know I'm the one who's going to have to go through most of it because I'm the only one who's unemployed and has the time. Oi, yoi, yoi. I get a little overwhelmed by all of it.

And my MIL is the most knowledgeable mom there is because she's always giving me advice. And it's. Just. So... Nice of her... Soooo great. The best. When she gives advice it's not a suggestion it's a "You should" kind of thing. Because it worked for her and her kids. It'll work for everyone. She dispenses this advice to anyone she meets with children even if she only met them five minutes ago. So generous with her advice.

Okay. I'm a whiner. Sorry. And I lapsed into sarcasm. Had to scream this out into the void though.

Is it so much to ask for a job that gives me benefits with decent pay so I can move out of my fucking parents place?!

A lot of things really are as much trouble as they're worth. Unfortunately, that's a lot of trouble.

I wholeheartedly believe that the last thing that should be said in response to aspecs hating their identity is "don't worry! Aspecs can still do X, Y, and Z" and I'm so fucking serious about this.

The least helpful thing you can do to someone who have not accepted their aspec identity yet is give them ways to compensate for it. If an aspec person is upset over not being able to enter a romantic relationship, the last thing that should be done is to tell them they can still enter one or instead enter a QPR - not because that's not true but because that is quite literally going to stunt their ability to accept their aspec identity. Telling them they can instead enter a QPR when they're upset over the lack of romantic relationships is at MOST a bandaid for the main issue. Instead of them coming to accept their identity and accept who they are you have instead handed them an amatonormative alternative on a silver platter that allows them to pretend they still fit into amatonormativity without every deconstructing it. This is how we get QPRs getting shoved into an amatonormative framework - these people NEVER got over the "I'm sad that I'm aspec" phase because they were handed alternatives instead of given actual support in deconstructing their internalized aphobia, self hatred, and amatonormative biases.

Me: Man, I've been so productive this week when it comes to fics and projects, and just being active in general on Tumblr! I wonder why?

It's because July 4 gave me an extra day off, meaning that I had more time to rest and recharge...
